Round 8: Tossup 20

A “power-compensated” form of this technique uses negative feedback to maintain isothermal sample and reference crucibles. A method for determining ligand binding affinities combines titration with this technique. (10[1]-5[1])Peaks generated by this technique’s “differential scanning” type indicate (10[1])phase (10[1])transitions. The equation (10[1])[read slowly] “q equals C-sub-V times delta T” can be used with this technique to determine enthalpy change. This technique can be performed (10[1])with two nested Styrofoam cups (10[1])to determine (10[1])whether a process (10[1])is exothermic or endothermic. For 10 points, identify this technique whose “bomb” type can be used to measure the heat flows associated with a chemical reaction. ■END■ (10[1])
